IrishJobs Scraper - Ireland Jobs & Companies

What does IrishJobs Scraper do?

IrishJobs Scraper extracts job listings from IrishJobs.ie, Ireland's leading job board with thousands of live vacancies across every sector. Give it a keyword and (optionally) a location, and it returns structured data for every matching job: title, company, salary (when disclosed), location, description snippet, posting date, expiry date, and a direct link to the advert. It reads the site's own server-rendered search data, so there is no login, no cookies, and no browser automation required.

Run it on the Apify platform to get Irish job market data via API, schedule recurring scrapes, and pipe results into tools like Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Airtable, and Slack.

How to scrape IrishJobs data

1. Go to the IrishJobs Scraper on the Apify Store.
2. Click Try for free to open the actor in the Apify Console.
3. Enter a search query (e.g. "accountant", "software developer", "nurse", "project manager").
4. Optionally enter an Irish location (e.g. "dublin", "cork", "galway", "limerick"). Leave it empty to search all of Ireland.
5. Set the maximum number of results you want (default: 100).
6. Leave the proxy configuration on IE residential (the default) for the most reliable results.
7. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
8. Download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Output tab, or pull it via the Apify API.

Why use IrishJobs Scraper?

• Irish salary benchmarking — where employers disclose a salary, compare pay across roles, sectors, and cities, and track how compensation shifts over time.
• Recruitment intelligence — see which companies are hiring, for what roles, and where. Spot hiring trends before your competitors do.

• Academic and policy research — clean, structured data for labour economics, skills-gap studies, and workforce reports.

About IrishJobs.ie

IrishJobs.ie is one of Ireland's oldest and best-known recruitment platforms, now part of the StepStone group. It aggregates vacancies from thousands of employers and recruitment agencies across every sector — technology, healthcare, finance, accountancy, engineering, retail, hospitality, and more. Key characteristics:

• Coverage: Nationwide Ireland, from Dublin to regional towns and counties, plus remote roles.
• Sectors: All major industries, from Accountancy and IT to Nursing, Construction, and Sales.

• Work patterns: Full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, and permanent roles.

Cost estimate

This actor is billed on Apify's Pay Per Result model. The site's search returns 25 jobs per page, so scraping is fast and lightweight — a typical run of a few hundred listings finishes in well under a minute of compute. You pay per job returned plus a small per-run start fee, so a run that returns 500 jobs costs roughly the price of 500 results. Check the actor's pricing tab for the exact current rate.

Limitations and known issues

• Search results only — the actor reads the listing data embedded in the search pages (title, company, salary, location, snippet, dates, links). It does not open each advert to pull the full job description body. The descriptionSnippet field gives you the summary shown on the results page.
• Salary as advertised — many Irish listings show "Not Disclosed", in which case the salary field is null. Where a figure is given, it is exactly what the employer entered (a range with a pay period).
• Sponsored jobs — a small number of sponsored listings repeat across pages. The actor deduplicates by jobId, so you never get the same job twice.
• Ireland focus — IrishJobs.ie is an Irish job board. Use IE residential proxies (the default) for the most reliable results.
• Result ceiling — deep result sets are paginated; very large maxResults values will walk many pages. Keep maxResults reasonable for the query you actually need.

FAQ

Do I need an IrishJobs account or API key? No. This actor reads the public search results. There is no login, no cookies, and no API key required.

Can I filter by salary, contract type, or county? The current version filters by keyword and location. Salary, location, and posting date are returned on every result so you can filter them yourself after scraping.

Is scraping IrishJobs legal? This actor collects publicly available job listing data. You are responsible for using the data in line with the site's terms and applicable law. Do not use it to send unsolicited communications in breach of regulations.
